VIAL. Vigo International Journal of Applied Linguistics

ISSN: 1697-0381

Vigo University Press publishes a great number of specialized journals, among which several related to the Galician language, one in the field of English and German language and literature and a thriving journal in the field of Sociolinguistics. VIAL is, nevertheless, an attempt at filling a gap, which is found not only in our community but in Spain in general, where no journal exists to cover the areas from which VIAL hopes to attract contributions: that of SLA, Language Teaching Methodology, the growing area of Cognitive Linguistics related to Language Teaching and Learning, Pycholinguistics, Language Pathologies and the related fields of ESP and Translation.

The idea of publishing an international journal in Applied Linguistics met with enthusiasm when we first presented the idea to the academic community in Spain and abroad. The great number of letters of support received, and the fact that so many prestigious researchers immediately accepted to be members of our Scientific Advisory Board and Editorial Board confirmed our hypothesis that this journal would be welcome, and earn its right of place among the host of academic journals already on the market.
